Impossible to install mayavi on Windows 11 and Python 3.X - Windows fatal exception: access violation
Opened this issue · 6 comments
I have been trying for 20 hours to get this to install and it simply does not install. I don't understand how it is possible to stop working after using this for years. I have tried 20 versions of Python 3.X and nothing works. All pip installs fails with:
Building TVTK classes... Windows fatal exception: access violation
I tried pip install mayavi and it fails for all Python 3.X versions I tried (3.13, 3.12, 3.9, 3.8, 3.7, 3.10, 3.11) they ALL fail. NONE works.
I have a mayavi working on an older machine and I tried to install the exact same versions of packages I have there:
Python 3.9.12 installed:
pip install numpy==1.25.2
pip install apptools==5.2.1
pip install envisage==7.0.3
pip install packaging==23.1
pip install pyface==8.0.0
pip install pygments==2.15.1
pip install traits==6.4.1
pip install traitsui==8.0.0
pip install vtk==9.2.6
pip install mayavi==4.8.1
Result: Numpy is required to build Mayavi correctly, please install it first. If I upgrade numpy, I get the same result.
I then went ahead and cloned the git version. It failed with Building TVTK classes... Windows fatal exception: access violation. I managed to find the method that fails:
fails at vtk_parser.py, line 713: default = getattr(obj, 'Get%s' % key)()
The only method that fails is klass_name == 'vtkGenericCell' and key == 'CellFaces'. So I went ahead and added:
if (klass_name == 'vtkGenericCell' and key == 'CellFaces'):
default = None
else:
default = getattr(obj, 'Get%s' % key)()
Then it worked (this was with Python 3.12). However, when I tried to use mayavi, I get:
TypeError: unhashable type: 'PolyData'
Could anyone help with ANY version of Python and vtk and mayavi that works on Windows 11? I have Visual Studio 2019 installed if that makes any difference.
I have the same issue on Linux from python 3.11 and 3.12 and mayavi 4.8.3.dev0
I have a similar problem on Windows 11
Tried Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12.
PyQt5 5.15.11
vtk 9.3.1, 9.4
mayavi 4.8.2

I am on Windows 10 with the same problem
I activated the verbose mode in vtk_parser.py by setting VTK_PARSER_VERBOSE
set VTK_PARSER_VERBOSE=1
and the last lines I see when I run pip install mayavi==4.8.2 --verbose are

I tried different versions of the Python vtk package (9.4.0, 9.2.5, 9.1.0) but the message is identical.
Same issue with Linux, Python 3.8 and mayavi 4.8.2
The error thrown is of course different to Windows:
